Introduction: Since the implementation of the new selection criteria in 2018, kidney donations from pediatric patients have been prioritized for pediatric recipients and kidney donations from pediatric donors have increased in Japan. Herein, we present two cases of en bloc kidney transplantation.

Case presentation: Case 1: A 19-year-old male patient who had been on hemodialysis for 5 years due to end-stage renal disease. After brain death, a graft from a 5-year-old boy was transplanted into the right iliac fossa. Case 2: A 19-year-old male patient, who had previously undergone a living kidney transplantation at the age of 3, received a secondary cadaveric kidney transplantation in the left iliac fossa. The graft was procured from a 17-month-old girl following cardiac death.

Conclusion: This report will help surgeons perform en bloc kidney transplantation in the growing number of pediatric kidney donations, such as those in Japan.
